Now Or Never Mary J. Blige & Kendrick Lamar

We on?
A'ight
One, two, three, go!

Waking up in a dream
Sleepwalking on another big stage
You never heard peace 'til you hear people scream
Your name in unison, I'm so far away
From the place I used to be, struggling usually
Look at the newer me, fate pursuing me
I can feel the energy in the air
It feel like I'm supposed to be here

Everywhere I go, I'm getting so much love
Fans, the stars, everyone
Sayin' how they can't wait for the LP
And I'm gonna blow, they believe in me
Feel so good in what you do
Helps somebody else get through
That's why I do the best I can
Because I know how blessed I am

I'm so high, I can touch the sky
I know it's my time, and it's now or never
Shine so bright, I light the night
And it feels so right, ain't nothing better

A fool if I take it all for granted
A smart man if I keep my feet planted
To the earth, 'cause the people that hurt can understand it
You speakin' outlandish, I'ma show you how to make it all work
Another planet, it's a short term goal for me
A record sold for me, it's just more of me in your ear
For you to hear Kendrick persevere, defenses I feel relentless

Ambition with a clear vision
Takin' off, I ain't takin' off these Pistons
I'm takin' off on the inner me, you're distance
Came across me, how much it'll cost me
To get you out my business
I said a planet is a short term goal, no sky is the limit
I'm past that, now pass that award
Not one but four times two plus yours

I see myself performing there (K.dot)
Sold out shows where the room is packed
Sitting at the Grammy's winning five awards
See myself on big billboards
Traveling around the world with endorsement deals
Can't imagine how it feels
That's why I'm smiling everyday
Because my dream ain't far away

I'm so high, I can touch the sky
I know it's my time, and it's now or never
Shine so bright, I light the night
And it feels so right, ain't nothing better

You looking at me, and you tell me I'm blessed
Calculated my steps, my heart, my breath
Breathe in lungs of a victory and vividly
You see me when at my best, my worst
This verse dedicated to the days that I slept
With a curse research my paid dues, I'm reimbursed
I burst in the crowd with a voice and a crown
I'm a King on the prowl and I see mama smile

And I vow on the tape that I'll never break
You can break bread with me now
We can all take a bow on the edge of the pedestal
Then scream out loud that we made it off the avenue
And walked that mile
In the darkness I often sit back and get lost in the rap that I wrote
When you told me that it spoke to your soul
I was talking to you, I was walking it through every ghetto
Tell success "Hello"
We here

And I'm so happy I cry 'cause I can't believe
All the things I ever wanted are finally happening for me
And it's so surreal that I almost feel
That any minute I can wake up from this fantasy
When you pray so hard, and you've come so far
And you know that it's the time for you to lift your bar
And I'm gonna do it, watch me

I'm so high, I can touch the sky
I know it's my time, and it's now or never
Shine so bright, I light the night
And it feels so right, ain't nothing better

I'm so high, I can touch the sky
I know it's my time, and it's now or never
Shine so bright, I light the night
And it feels so right, ain't nothing better
